Unoaked

An unoaked wine is a wine that was not fermented in an oak barrel and instead, usually a stainless steal vessel. One of the main reasons winemakers are now producing wine without the oak flavor is consumer demand for a lighter, fruitier white wine without all of the overwhelming flavors created by oak barrels. The grapes used for white wines are especially delicate with very complex aromatics that are often lost when the wine is stored in oak Unoaked wine is said to emphasize the natural flavors of the grapes, along with elements of the soil in which they grew.
